I'll be honest, I'm unfamiliar with Melissa and Anastasia off the top of my head. My only two points of contact through this whole thing have been Ms. Sheryl White-Riley in HR and the manager that called me on 12/14. Even with the latter, we didn't really leave open any ongoing dialogues to prod at.

Melissa and Anastasia were the two numbers listed on my interview email. I managed to contact Melissa a few weeks ago, and posted here about it.

I was unable to call them today at work, but I did email the senior attorney that I've been in contact with. I've gotten a response within the hour every other time I've reached out to him. It's going on three hours now...

Just perused the forum for timing trends with a previous May class. The last May class was 2016. Invites for interviews were sent out early December, May people's references were contacted in late January, and May people received offers in early March . Not that March will be the same for us, but oy. In a glass-half-full way, the 2016 May class waited a little over a month between references and offers. Granted, we're a little bit passed that already, but maybe it's closer than we think.

I am dyyyyyyyying. People keep asking me what the deal is and why I haven't heard yet. I don't know what to say!

I still haven't heard back from the senior attorney.

Optimist: He hasn't gotten back to you because he's actually following up with HR to get the ball rolling out of his own frustration. Realist: He's just out of the office like everyone else every other day.

Thanks for checking back and updating me. I appreciate your patience; I’ve been asking for an update and unfortunately don’t have anything new to report yet. I completely understand your desire for more information and as soon as I hear back, I will let you know. However, I can say that you should not take the delay as a negative sign; the process is still ongoing. I hope to have more info for you very soon.

March class here. I received an an automated e-QIP Registration Code and the email says I need to wait for the sponsoring agency to contact me about it. I believe this is for the security/background check. This was on Monday and I haven’t received any email from HR about this. Anyone going through the same thing?

12/14 here. I interviewed back in November, and now it's February, so we're going into the third month from the interview without receiving the offer. I understand more examiners were hired during this process than most, and that HR's resources at the PTO are less than those at a private company, but now it's becoming inconsiderate to keep people waiting this long after an interview. We need to be able to begin moving on and not be stuck in this limbo.

The most recent information I have is that contact from HR is imminent. I will continue to update you as I hear more.

What a tease.

Yes, but also completely unprompted, which I'm taking as a good sign. I'd also like to know about what to expect after we hear from HR so I can set the wheels in motion at my current job. Are you all planning on waiting for final offers before taking that step?

Oh completely agree, I bet he has no idea how many other people also appreciate it. I'm waiting on final offer in hand and signed before I start making arrangements. We have all of the formalities to go through still after that, but I'm not anticipating there being any problems.
